ABRAHAM ElCHOEETr DE Meien Application lex Eisch To all whom it may conce/m:

Be it known that ABRAHAM Soncinij a citizen ci' the Uniiccl States, residing ai Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of llinois, have invented certain new and use ful improvements in Lighting ",..i,ures, oi which the folloiving is a 'speels l This invention relates tricliglil; fixtures in which incandescent bulbs are use diifusing bowl, each liglii. being` remmfebly secured to :i metelring or bund on s pi ie parallel with the' simi ring or band and mili A still further object .is 'to so mount lie electric bulbs 0n :i metal ring cr blind suse pended by zi pluroiliigy of chains within il inside lince olf the bowl that they wiil fue nish the most eilicieni; results7 and 'lube same time be complici, nent snl occiiyy 'very little splice.

"he light diffusing bowl 6 is surrounded at its upper portion with a metallic rim 15, said rim being provided with a plurality of inwardly projecting integral hooks 1G, and a plurality of inwardly extending integral projections 17, each projection 1T being provided with a perforation therethrough adapted to receive the lower hooked end portion 18 oit' a bowl suspending chain 19, the upper-end of each chain being suitably secured at 20 to the metal supporting ring 4, whereby when the ring is removed from beneath the inwardly projecting hoolis within the bowl, said bowl will be entirely removed from all other portions ot' the fixture and will be suspended by the chains 19 at a suitable distance below the {ixture tovpermit the bowl to be properly washed and cleaned while in its suspended position, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

Als shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings it will be seen that the metal suspension ring l is adapted, to fit within the inner 'tace of the bowl G, although entirely independent of the same, the inwardly projecting bends 7 in said ring allows the ring to pass below the plurality of hooks when the hooks and bends are caused to register with each other, and then by giving a` short turn to either the right or le'lt the ring will pass beneath the hooks and thus support the bowl in suspended position, and in order to cause Yhe bowl to assume a position to be reoily cleaned. such as shown in Fig. 2? it is simply necessary to gire the bowl a short turn causing the hooks lll to register with the bends 7 in the ring thereby allowing the bowl to drop below the fixture to a suitable distance therefrom and remain siupported by the chains 19 until properly cleansed.

lt will be readily understood that to instantly release the light diilusing bowl Vtrom all other parts ot the tixture it is simply necessary 'to turn the bowl to either the right or lei't until the inward bends 7 in the supporting ring are reached and caused to register with the projecting boobs within the bowl and the bowl. will. drop to the riosition shown in Fig. fl.

lt will also be apparent that the adjustable sappia-M tor each ol' the lamps permit nl position oi: the lamps 1Lluis ble to either courrntraiu or n light.

,1 changes in the details of construe-- tion hereinbefore referred to may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of this invention.

Haring thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters latent isrl. A lighting fixture comprising ay metal ring suspended by a plurality ofehains, said ring having a plurality of inwardly projecting bends, a suspension member tixedly cured within each projecting bend, an electric lamp removably secured to each suspension member in a position parallel to said ring, and a bowl of light dill'using material supported by said ring when surrounding the ring and when suspended below the rinU.

i2. A lighting fixture comprising a metal rimr suspended by a plurality of chains, said ring haring a plurality of inwardly extending bends, a suspension member within each extending bend, said suspension member being provided with a shouldered portion upon which the ring is adapted to rest, and each suspension member being lixedly secured to the ring within each olf said bends, and a bowl of light dili'using material supported by said ring but iudeliiendcnt thereof.

3. A lighting lixture coniprising a metal ring suspended by a plurality ol chains,said ring haring a plurality of inwardly projectlng bends, a suspension member ilxedly secured within each o'l' said projecting bends, a plurality of electric lamps ren'iovably supported by said ring, and a light dilfusiug bowl having a metal rim surrounding the upper edge portion thereof, and a pluralit oli inwardly extended hooks integral witi `said. rim, said bowl being supported by said ring when resting beimath said hooks and within the bowl.

4. A llighting fixture comprising a metal ring suspended by a plurality of chains, said ring haring a plurality oi inwardly projecting bends, a suspension member lixedly secured within each of said projecting bends, an electric lamp removably secured to the threaded portion ol each suspension member in a plane parallel with said ring, and a light dillusiug bowl haring a metal rim surrounding the upper edge ot' the bowl, said riin haring a plurality ol integral inwardly ['n'ojectiug hooks, and a plurality of inwardly projecting uienibers prorided with a ]u\,1io1'ation therethrough adapted to receive one end ol a chain, the other end of the chain being attached to the ring, whereby said lowl is supported in its normal position or in a suspended position below said ring.

5. A lighting fixture coiupril-iag a ila-tal ring suspended by a pluraiily nl chains` said ringl baring a plurality of inwardly proierting bends, a suspenf-iiou member tiwdly secured within each ol said ,fla-oiecting bends,

10 tions and a plurality of integral inwardly projecting hoolrs, said ring normally resting beneath said hooks and Within the inner face of said bowl.

In testimony whereof I afiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
